But I've never actually told you the tale. So finally, after all these years, I'm sharing my nightmare move with you, my loyal readers, friends and moving companions so that you can avoid the same fate. Or if you are the victim of a scam, how you might be able to seek compensation, or at the very least, satisfaction that you did all you could do.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/28/a-story-of-a-moving-scam-and-how-to-not-be-a-victim-of-bad-movers.htm">Read Full Post</a></p>http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/28/a-story-of-a-moving-scam-and-how-to-not-be-a-victim-of-bad-movers.htmWed, 28 May 2014 06:00:49 +00002014-05-28T06:00:49ZHow to Sort and Pack Your Closets (and deal with all the mess)http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/26/how-to-sort-and-pack-your-closets-and-deal-with-all-the-mess.htm
<p><img src="http://z.about.com/d/moving/1/0/W/5/closet2.jpg" alt="closet" hspace="25" width="170" height="124" align="right" />Probably the hardest part about moving is dealing with all the stuff we keep in our closets. It's where things that we haven't used for years, stuff that our Aunt Nora gave us five Christmases ago and items that we can't believe we bought - go. We keep promising ourselves that someday we'll clean it all out, imagining a time when we can actually find something inside, when the shelves aren't overflowing and you're not afraid to open that door...</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/26/how-to-sort-and-pack-your-closets-and-deal-with-all-the-mess.htm">Read Full Post</a></p>http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/26/how-to-sort-and-pack-your-closets-and-deal-with-all-the-mess.htmMon, 26 May 2014 02:00:30 +00002014-05-26T02:00:30ZHow to Help Kitty Move (without too much stress)http://moving.about.com/b/2014/05/23/how-to-help-kitty-move-without-too-much-stress.htm

Now, I'm not used to living alone, never mind in a strange house without any furniture. And there was still three weeks to go before the rest of my family could join me.
